how effective of a leader is he of the nra? >> well, i guess you can look at the nra's own statistics after the newtown shooting their membership has gone up by a quarter of a million people. 250,000 more members of nra since december. when he gave the fist pounding speech after newtown, i thought, that seems pretty, pretty raw that emotion being expressed. as it turned out, the polling after that showed that a majority of americans supported his position on having armed guards at schools. while my reaction to it as someone who does not own a gun and lives in fournew york city different. >> has wayne lapierre been effective as a spokesman? >> i think it's appropriate that he gave the speech, there were a lot of turkeys in the background. and that speech was a turkey in terms of where the american public is. you have to remember, wayne lapierre is not speaking to the american public. he is speaking to a certain seth of it. that seth is crucially important because he is trying to have enough of the control of the republicans in t
